On the morning of December 15, 2022, under the guidance of the Academic and Publication Committee of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the 2022 Global Engineering Frontier/Global Top Ten Engineering Achievements Press Conference and Engineering Frontier Forum was held in Beijing. The forum was jointly organized by the Strategic Consulting Center of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Clarivate Analytics, Higher Education Press and Strategic Study of Chinese Academy of Engineering Magazine. Academician ZHOU Ji, Honorary Chairman of the Governing Board of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Chief Editor of Engineering, Academician WANG Chen, Vice President of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Mr. WANG Li, Vice President of Clarivate Analytics, Ms. HAN Yun, Deputy Chief Editor of Higher Education Press, Academicians CHEN Jianfeng, YANG Baofeng, ZHANG Ping, ZHANG Pingxiang, DU Yanliang, and other experts and scholars in related fields attended the conference online. Prof. CHEN Xiqun, Vice Dean of ZJUI, was invited to give the keynote speech.
As an important part of the activity, the "Engineering Frontier Forum" specially invites academicians and experts in the engineering frontier field to interpret the key frontiers in the "2022 Global Engineering Frontier", reveal the value of engineering science and technology, and serve the progress of human civilization. While keeping abreast of national strategic needs and closely tracking the latest development trend of global engineering science and technology, each speech is committed to solving major scientific and technological challenges in the world.
Prof. CHEN Xiqun of ZJUI and Prof. WU Jianjun of Beijing Jiaotong University jointly interpreted the report “Construction of ‘Mobility as a Service’ Autonomous Transportation Systems”. Prof. CHEN Xiqun focused on the “technical framework” and “future trends” in the keynote speech. Regarding the technical framework, he mainly elaborated on the construction method of the “Mobility as a Service (MaaS)” Autonomous Transportation Systems (ATS), focusing on the collaborative optimization of MaaS multimodal supply resources, personalized and integrated smart mobility services, and multi-resolution simulation of ATS. Professor CHEN reviewed the development route of the MaaS integrated travel service platform and ATS, and proposed the future trends of related technologies, namely multi-mode collaborative optimization, optimization based on reservation and real-time response, intelligent sensing technology of ATS, spatial-temporal mobility data restoration technology, construction of multimodal transportation network simulation environment and multi-functional element integration, which provide ideas for “one-stop” smart mobility services in the future transportation.
During the activity, the journal Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Engineering also released the "Global Top Ten Engineering Achievements 2022," including "BeiDou Navigation Satellite System", "Chang'e Lunar Exploration Program", "COVID-19 Vaccine R&D and Application", "Falcon Heavy Recyclable Rocket", "Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge", "Super Large Cloud Service Platform", "James Webb Space Telescope", "Fuxing Standard EMU", "Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation", and "New Generation Electric Vehicle". The report "Global Engineering Frontier 2022" was also released on the same day.
The “Global Top Ten Engineering Achievements 2022” include not only major innovations closely related to human welfare, but also promoting human exploration beyond the earth. Experts and scholars continue to pay attention to and actively participate in global engineering research. They continue toto investigate and determine the direction of global engineering, grasp the strategic opportunities of world development, and provide reference for actions to address global challenges for mankind to achieve sustainable development.
